In several regions of Christendom there is honored under this name a pious matron of Jerusalem who, during the Passion of Christ, as one of the holy women who accompanied Him to Calvary, offered Him a towel on which he left the imprint of His face. She went to Rome, bringing with her this image of Christ, which was long exposed to public veneration.

 

To distinguish at Rome the oldest and best known of these images it was called "vera icon" (true image), which ordinary language soon made veronica.

If we could see beyond the sky. Beyond all the clouds and blueish haze. I mean if our eyes' vision could be that acute. I wonder what pictures like this could look like!

One theory I have right now is that these pillars, and other "great" structures of man, won't look so high and mighty anymore. In face, they would look rediculously puny. So, on the one hand; thank God we have a roof over our heads that makes pictures like this beautiful. And on the other hand, We, human beings, really need to work on our vanity; I don't know of any one who built a sky! Neither do I know of any one who ignited the spark of a star. And it is now a scientific, undisputable fact that our "universe" is incomprehensibly vast that whatever we make or build or "create" is, and will always be, a speck of sand in a great, great desert.

 

Greatness. Now, that is not an attribute of man, but of something evermore capable and powerful, and far more greater; of divinity; of God.

لو كنا نستطيع الرؤية إلى مابعد السماء ، إلى مابعد الغيوم والسديم الأزرق . أعني . . . لو أن أبصارنا استطاعت أن تكون بتلك الحدة ، أتسائل كيف ستبدو صور ٌ كهذه ؟

أحد نظرياتي في المسألة أن هذه الأعمدة وما شابهها في الـ"عظمة" من صنع الإنسان لن تبدو عالية وعظيمة على الإطلاق

في الواقع ستبدو في منتهى التفاهة والصغر . لذا ، أولاً: الحمدلله الذي جعل فوقنا سقفاً محفوظاً ، ولتبدو صور كهذة جميلة إلى حدٍ ما ، وثانياً: نحن ، معشر البشر ، نحتاج فعلاً أن نخفف من كبريائنا ؛ فمما سمعت بإنسيٍّ بَــنـَى سماءً ، أو أوقد شرارة نجمٍ فأشعله

وبتنا الآن نعلم ، وباتت حقيقة ً علمية غير قابلة للجدل أن الـ"كون" شاسعٌ واسع ؛ فكل ما نبنيه سيكون ، وسيبقى كحبة الرمل في صحراءٍ عظيمةٍ ، عظيمة

 

العــَــظـَـــمَــه . . . تلك ليست صفةً تتوافق مع الإنسان ، بل هي تليقُ بمن هو قادرٌ قويٌ أزلياً ، قاهرٌ بعظمته ، : تليق بالألوهية : بالرب : الله عز وجل

Feeling of spirituality in the temple is a place of pilgrimage. There is in the light of divinity. Whenever we go to the temple, we feel a great peace. shot from Jejuri, Near Pune, Maharastra state, India.....

Bodleian Library, Oxford. Built in the Perpendicular style between 1427 and 1483.

This beautiful Catholic cathedral in Malaga Spain is impressive by it's size and the beautiful interior is just as impressive with its gold statues and stained glass.

As with all other Sacred Lotus dolls, Isha's accessories are simply amazing as well. Just wish she had a necklace as well, a jewel-studded choker to be exact, in true over-the-top Bollywood style.

This is a wee composite photo of the incredible ceiling of part of the Divinity School at Oxford University, just next to the Bodleian Library and Sheldonian theatre.

 

Not bad, I guess, but you'd think they'd put a bit more effort in, wouldn't you?

 

Anyway, to really get an idea of just how fancy this ceiling is, I suggest you have a look at the larger version of the image. It's worth the wait while it loads, honest!

Then, the sign of the Son of Man(Jesus) will appear in the sky;

 

and they will see the Son of the Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."

Door back to the secret room... well not that secret - if you do the tour you can go back there, the seats are not very comfy

(It took me 2 years to get this shot. I had picturized this shot 2 years back and I was trying ever since. I am not 100% happy with the out come. But I was not in a position to bend down further and the image is bit more noisy than i wanted it to be.)

  

DSC_4505, UFRaw, Gimp, curves, levels, WB adjustment to get rid of the effect mixed light source. no crop. focus is on the fire.

Isha has arrived. Integrity has left me wanting more. I wish she were a bit darker. She keeps getting lighter and lighter. Don't get me wrong she's pretty but she will be changed out of this look. I may use a different Isha . I wish I could get the henna on the new model.
